IBM Software Engineer interview questions

I applied online. After a week or so I got an e-mail from the hiring manager to schedule a call. I talked with the hiring manager. We discussed the position and whether it would be a good fit. There were no specific technical questions. We both agreed it would be a good fit and decided to move forward with an onsite. Between the call and the onsite there was an online interview and coding test. The interview was a bit strange. I had to record video answers to written questions with no feedback from a real person. The programming questions were fairly standard. There was a decent editor and the ability to run some test cases (they defined the test cases). Two of the problems were fairly straight forward (like you would see in an interview prep book). One of the problems was a bit more complex. They gave me an hour and it took pretty much the whole time. The whole coding test took about 3 hours. The onsite was about 5 hours and included lunch. I met with a few managers and one engineer. The managers asked some behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time when..."). And the engineer asked more technical questions. Since the coding test was focused on algorithms the engineer interview was more focused on architecture and object-oriented principles. Everyone was very nice and enthusiastic about the project, which was much appreciated. A few days after the interview I got an informal verbal offer from the hiring manager and set up a meeting with the VP in charge of the group who gave me the salary numbers and explained the project at a higher level. About a week after the interview I got the formal offer letter in my e-mail.

Neverending coding challenges online where they watch you code through your webcam. Very creepy and overly invasive just to make sure you don't "google anything", because apparently the engineers at IBM Watson never forget anything and all have photographic memories. Absolutely ridiculous and not worth what they're paying considering they're in NYC.
